Plex Info Server Version#: 1.31.2.6783-6000 Player Version#: Various (Apple TV, Web etc) Synology Info Nas Model#: Synology DS3612xs & DS3611xs DSM Version#: DSM 6.2.4-25556 Update 6 Both NAS boxes have been modded identically with upgraded CPU’s, RAM, 10gb NIC and Cooling, and have been ultra…

Did you try turning off nightly credit detection? It’s been hard crashing windows and other OSes. Going back to 1.27.2 would be the equivalent of disabling it as credit detection is a recent addition.

Thanks, DR_Tone, that would certainly explain what I’m seeing, (would have preferred not to have fragged my library to prove out, though) If it’s been hard crashing other OS’s is there a thread to follow addressing this one?

[image] pcorpe: installed 1.27.2.5929 Consider using 1.29.2.6364 available via Synology Package Center. It is a very stable release. It does not have the problems with transcoding or audio analysis that plagued the early 1.30 releases. It predates Credit Detection as well. I’m running it …

I would still inspect the CPU/Heatsink for overheating. The first release of Credit Detection certainly put the CPU to 100% for an extended time but unless other issues are present no crashes. Given the age of the database, running a dump or recover on it wouldn’t be out of the question.

Thanks Tiebierius, i will check this out for sure, but given it’s the same result with 2 boxes i’d be very surprised if that’s the cause, particularly given the likely culprit of the credit detection. thus far I’ve not seen CPU temps higher than 51C, and that’s in a small hot (26c) room. but your p…

Folks, I just got out of the support team meeting. Engineering has fixed the Credit Detection feature breaking the host. Those changes are in our internal Alpha-testing with QA. Barring any breakage, IIUC, it will be in the next PlexPass release (please don’t quote me on that YET) I would cl…

hello @ChuckPa thanks for the post, sounds like you have a similar approach to this as I do, an annual clean and check over etc, (oddly I find it therapeutic but maybe that’s my OCD kicking in.) ref the DB size etc, given I’ve fragged all the Plex installs (shared folder, user, package) etc I don’t…

Just for giggles, i spotted a new version released a day or so ago (1.31.3.6819) so I gave that a shot, same reboots when building fresh library.

I’m seeing this crashing behavior, too. And I have disabled credit detection. I’ll have to look when I get home, but I think I’m up to 1.31.3.6819 now. This is NOT crashing the Synology NAS box, but the Plex service stops running, and it shows that it was “Manually Stopped”.

looks like this thread might be related (Plex Media Server Crashes Every night - #51 by Dr_Tone) talk about the credit detection causing crashes etc.
